Artificial "meat" from cells, tough it can't be healthy, because its artificial, is an acceptable way to spread veganism through altough there is better ways - natural foods. But saying that we need animal agriculture and to keep some of the cruelty to animals sorry i disagree with that.

Nothing in spirituality has to encourage you to die. If it does so - your spirituality is fake, selfish, cultistic and stupid. I Prefer to be pure RED for all my life than this shitpirituality.

I hope you are joking about the suicide.

This test is so simplistic with obvious and superficial questions. Is somebody knows a real test?

I dont think there is a formula of what exactly enlightened people think. They probably care less.

You said it right - can help! Thats why we need a sensitive society and not just libertarianism, because people ARE need help from others from time to time, and not everyone can just "push himself" and quit poverty

Social democracy is capitalism-socialism hybrid with spectrum between them. Vast majority of stage green people don't want hard core socialism.

Marx is NOT stage green. Social-Democrats are.

But why the koch brothers are an obstacle to USA from embrace more green energy? Because they bring a lot of money and the government dont want give up that money and therefore don't have enough motivation to change it? A green government would accepting loosing money in short term to turn to green energy? Is it possible to make such a change within few years? "Right" i meant that their solution is maybe the most practical at that moment. Not that they are right at the essencse of the things. I am asking as still newbie in economics and want to understand better.

So how can we move on to green energy? I see it is much more difficult to imply on high scales. Maybe the koch brothers are right in this case and there is no more efficient way to produce electric energy today? Maybe in the future the green technology will have the capacity to produce high scales electricity.

?

@Leo Gura I just showed the video to a libertarian person i have an argument with, and his answer was: "So we will not produce electricity? What is your alternative?"

I agree with @Commodent Surrender to the stress and negative feelings and toughts. But not in a technically way, its not a technique. In an heart-based way. Tell yourself its OK that you feel this things. That is absolutely fine. Its just the duality your mind has learned during life that make you feel its "negative". Because it learned that some content is "bad" and some content is "good" and it react to this. Its just false duality and NOT the truth! Play with it a little bit from time to time. Challenge your brain "who said this is bad?" Love yourself and let other people support you too. Some dependence on others is healthy! We need to get unconditional love from ourselves and from others because it is a survivle condition we have in our genes. That is the core and the base. Above this base - practice mindfulness technique every day for at least 15-30 minutes. During sitting/walking. See friends and family for good amount of time during the day. And also try to find what the toughts want go say to you. Explore them, but not obbsesively. Only be curious from time to time. Not too much.

@Mezanti How are your relationships with family and friends? Do you feel connected to them or like more seperate to them?

I feel like in that forum there are people who are in the cutting edge of understanding OCD. Who were in CBT and have tried many things and did self investigation and self inquiry for their mental problem and therefore are the richest in their experience. Thats what I think. I just had a relatively hard time with my ocd and my anxiety during last month, and that is although the 3 years of daily mindfulness I have behind me. I also have insights and I'll for sure share it here too. How much experience do you have in your own ocd? What did and didn't help you? Are you doing meditation techniques and for how long? Does it enough to deal with your mental peoblem or not? And just Everything you want to share here about your insights. I think It can be helpful to do an ocd brainstorming here.

You think OCD created, or at least became a serious disorder mainly because of western culture? I thought about it in the past and it seems right to me. In the past people suffer less from ocd.

Yes thank you ? ill try and update?

What do you think triggered this dark night meant in the article? Maybe chemical changes in the body and brain due to pregnancy, which created a snowball and bubbled up of all her psychological issues?

Sometimes the ego press you to do effort and push yourself and maybe part of the flow is also flow with the ego! Sometimes. What do you think?

I think if you change the topic headline to "people with social difficulties today/in childhood or with asperger/autism you will get more comments because people are afraid of rigid lables and don't want to identify themselves with autism if have mild cases. that might hide from this thread the truth. I had social difficulties in school, especially elementary school. A psychiatrists thought that I have asperger and last year A psychologist said he think I understand well social situations and maybe I have a very little of asperger maybe a borderline issue of asperger.

I miss self love in spiritually training? Thats what I think I missed and today I tried to add this to the meditation. Or do you mean to other things?

Thanks to you ?

In an infinite loop which will create in your brain. Because of the illusion of duality that we create to survive and its just groundless! Even after I understood and even had experience of equinimity and first awakening experience (this days. Yes only first time but it was so special and new. Exactly what written in daniel m ingram book) Its still doesnt help and my mind is running after itself in an infinite loop and with anxiety. Only Love and a sense of humour can handle this. we aren't wired to deal in life with no continious fresh income of self care and from others too all the time (to protect from predators). That the wiring and thats it. You cant cheat billions of brain cells. Even awakening will not solve it. Only love. Awakening/enlightement will help too but its not enough. Its more complex than that!! Fresh insight from unwilling to sleep night (in israel its night right now). Now i will try again to sleep i have to wake up in 4.5 hours ?

Can you explain more? I dont know I understood what you meant.

So maybe no technique meditation will never help if we don't incorporate love with in?
